Senate disapproves Trump's declaration

President Donald Trump is now likely to veto his first bill since taking office as the Senate has voted to disapprove the declaration of a national emergency on the border. All 47 Democrats and 12 Republicans voted to disapprove the emergency.

It is unlikely though that opposition will be sufficient for Trump’s veto to be overriden. That requires 2/3rds majorities in both the House and the Senate.

The Senate is now voting on the resolution to disapprove to Trump’s declaration of a national emergency on the southern border. It blocks Trump’s efforts to use money that was not appropriated by Congress to build a border wall.

The resolution was approved by the House last month. It is likely to force a veto from Trump. However, although a number of Republicans are backing the disapproval resolution, it is not likely that there will be the two-thirds majority in either the House or the Senate to override the veto.

North Carolina Republican Thom Tillis is flipped on voting for the disapproval resolution. Although Tillis originally said he would vote to disapprove the national emergency, he has since changed his mind.

In an effort to ensure he qualifies for the Democratic debate, John Delaney announced that he will donate $2 to charity for every individual donation he receives.

In a statement the Delaney campaign said:

John Delaney will personally donate $2 dollars to non-profits and charities for each new donor that contributes to his campaign as part of the Delaney Debate Challenge, a new online program launched today. Through pages linked on Delaney’s website and social media channels, new donors will be able to select one of eleven charities that John will donate to in the person’s name.

This initiative is in response to the DNC’s requirement that candidates have at least 65,000 donors. The Delaney Debate Challenge will apply to the next 100,000 new donors.

“This campaign isn’t about me, it’s about bringing people together and serving the common good. The Delaney Debate Challenge is a way for us to highlight the incredible work done by charities and non-profits around the country as part of our larger effort to reach the 65,000 donor threshold being used for the debates,” said Delaney.
